Since the Drive is doing 1980 today, I'll listen to JJ on KPOO at 8:00 and see if he says anything.

FYI, I emailed JJ and he's heard nothing re: King Floyd being dead.

I'm listening to JJ on KPOO and he played King Floyd and referred to him as "gone but not forgotten up in soul heaven" and so I (finally) tracked down a confirmation:

That item is dated 3/20/06, a week after Gaz's original post.
